Voter turnout in today's
elections may reach upward of
29-30 percent of the student
body, according to Chairman
of SGA Elections Board James
• Bruni.
Last year, approximately 32
percent of the student body

over last year is likely because
of the larger number of candi­dates
participating.

Browder fills
empty seat in
3rd District
By Matt Smith
Staff Writer
In a commanding victory
Tuesday, Alabama Secretary of
State Glen Browder defeated
Opelika Sen. John Rice with 65
percent of the vote in the race to
replace the late Third District
Congressman Bill Nichols in
Washington.
Rice conceded the election
from his campaign headquar­ters
in Opelika at 7:45 p.m.
Tuesday, only 45 minutes after
the polls closed in the 13-coun-ty
district. At that time, early
returns showed Browder lead­ing
more than "two to one.
'What happened here was we
were just greatly outspent, and
we were not able to get our mes­sage
across...a lot of scurillous
charges were made that we
weren't able to refute because
we just didn't have the money,"
Rice's press secretary Steve
Allen said.
Rice even failed to carry Lee
Geu-nty,- -his own district,
although the margin was some­what
more narrow than in the
rest of the districts. Final
returns from the county showed
Browder winning 53 percent of
the vote.

AG to determine
ethics violations
By Vicki Vessels
News Editor
The State Ethics Commission
has found probable cause that
Alumni Association Director
Jerry Smith has violated state
ethics laws. The Commission
has also referred the case to the
Alabama attorney general's
office.
"I was disappointed," Smith
said. "I regret the Alabama
Ethics Commission has inter­preted
any actions I may have
taken as executive director to be
incorrect in any way.
"I never felt there was any­thing
I did that was not in the
best interest of Auburn Univer­sity."
The Commission met last Fri­day
and went into a closed exec­utive
session to discuss the
investigation findings and hear
testimony from some of those
involved.
The Commission is an admin­istrative
board in charge of
implementing the Alabama
Ethics Law.
Friday, the commissioners
heard testimony concerning the
charge that Smith used his
position as director for personal
financial gain. This is prohibited
by Alabama Ethics Law, since
Smith is considered a public
official paid by the state rather
than the University.
The allegation came after
Smith accepted $30,000 for
administering the estate of Lois
Huff of Decatur, Ga., who died
in June 1987. Smith and a
Georgia businessman, who also
received $30,000, oversaw the
sale of the $1.8 million estate,
proceeds of which were specified
in Huffs will to be donated to
the Auburn Foundation.
On hand to speak before the
Commission included Dr. Ben
Fitzpatrick, president of the
University Senate, whose letter
outlining the allegations against
Smith sparked the press cover­age
last fall.
Smith
"I think they (commissioners^
acted properly," Fitzpatrick said.
"I certainly commend the com­missioners
for their work and
consideration of the situation."
Also speaking before the com­mission
were Julian Holmes,
Pat Brackin and George Adklns
who retained a lawyer last fall
intending to bring suit against
Smith.
The suit would have charged
Smith with harassment alleged­ly
delivered after the audit was
originally requested last fall.
The three have not continued
with the suit.

Manure found
in city's water
Health not at risk, officials say
By Paul DeMarco
Assistant News Editor
Complaints about a peculiar
smell or taste In Auburn's water
have been the basis for a nuiri-ber
of actions taking place
between the city, the state and a
dairy farm about two miles from
Auburn.
The alleged problem is
because of the buildup of bacte­ria
caused by a number of envi­ronmental
factors, including
Chewacla Creek which is the
primary feeder to Auburn's
main water source. Lake Ogle-tree.
The Alabama Department of
Environmental Management
(ADEM) submitted a notice of
violation to a local farm because
the high amount of manure in
the water was contributing to
the increase in the bacteria.
However, local officials say the
contamination may not actually
present a health problem.
"Health risks are not likely
because of Auburn's treatment
plant, but animal waste does
carry parasites," said Steve
Jenkins, the former chief min­ing
and non-point source sec­tion
of ADEM. "If there would
have been a health hazard, then

an emergency order would have
been made."
ADEM conducted Its investi­gation
of the water last spring
after a request was made by the
city of Auburn following contin­uing
complaints by Auburn
Water Board customers.
On Feb. 10, ADEM ordered
Willow Run Farms to present a
waste management plan by
March 30 to correct the alleged
problem. If the dairy did notT-submit
a plan by the deadline,
it would face fines of up to
$25,000 a day.
The farm has appealed the

New phone system
frustrating to some
By Sarah Hicks
Staff Writer
Along with rat caps and bee­hive
hairdos, the "826" tele­phone
prefix has become a
thing of the past at the Univer­sity.
Since March 20, administra­tors
and residents alike have
wrestled with the new $7.6 mil­lion
South Central Bell telecom­munication
system that has cre­ated
a separate prefix for the
campus, according to Jim
Stone, director of Auburn's
telecommunications division.
"The most immediate reaction
to the new system was 'why are
you doing this?'" he said.
The 1984 breakup of AT&T
triggered the University's dec!-*
sion to review the old system,
according to Stone. The break­up
made it more difficult to
maintain equipment in the
already hodgepodge system.
'The University had to make
changes in equipment and ser­vice
to meet state laws and
couldn't maintain the status
quo without going to multiple
sources," he said.
During 1984-85, the old sys­tem
was evaluated by Telecom
International out of Denver,
Colo., he said. The team came
to the conclusion that the
increase in kinds of equipment
would only make the system
more incompatible, so they rec­ommended
that the University
own and operate its own
telecommunication system.
"Our old system was rented,
so we never developed any equi­ty,"
he said.
The new system will solve this
problem, Stone said, but it has
also created a number of new
ones.
The most adverse reaction has
come from campus residents.
Unlike many of the administra­tive
offices that kept the last
four digits of the previous num-

Faculty expresses mixed feelings about tenure system
By Becky Jeffers
Assistant News Editor
Instructor evaluations are a
typical end-of-the-quarter rou­tine
for many students, but Uni­versity
officials say the ques­tionnaires
should be taken seri­ously
since student comments
are actually weighted in tenure
decisions.
"They (student comments) are
certainly one of the strong ele­ments
In evaluation. Most of the
colleges are doing this on a reg­ular
basis," said Ronald Henry,
vice president of academic
affairs and chairman of the
Tenure and Promotion Commit­tee.
Tenure Is based on ability as
a classroom communicator, sig­nificant
accomplishments as a
researcher, recommendations
by review committees and com­munity
service for extension
positions.
This year, six of the 50 appli­cants
did not receive tenure,
Henry said. Tenure for the other
44 faculty members is effective
beginning fall 1989.
Denial of tenure Is attributed
to several possible factors
including ineffective teaching
methods, poorly defined
research programs and charac­ter
flaws such as inability to
work well with other faculty
members, Henry said.
If other faculty members feel
the person has disruptive char­acter
traits or is difficult to work
with, then tenure may not be
granted, he said.
The tenure process follows
guidelines set by the American
Association of University Profes­sors
and is similar to policies at
other four-year universities.
As a result, faculty are famil­iar
with what is expected of
them. "The regular faculty mem­ber
is expected to have both
research and teaching (skills),"
Henry said. Two-year colleges
and research facilities do not
require both.
Eligibility is usually consid­ered
after a faculty member has
served a full-time probationary
period, and no teacher is
reviewed later than six years
after employment, Henry said.
Tenure recommendations are
reviewed each fall by the Tenure
and Promotion Committee, but
the process begins on the
departmental level where a com­mittee
of tenured departmental
faculty review the appointee's
records.

Three arrested for cocaine trafficking
Two Wetumpka residents and one Auburn resident were
arrested and charged with trafficking in cocaine on March 26.
At a press conference Wednesday, Chief of Police Edwin D.
Downing announced the culmination of a two-week Investigation

his wife Jenny Faye Wall, 38, Wetumpka and Gary Wayne Hamby.

The two-week Investigation involved undercover agents from
both Auburn and the attorney general's office. Officers seized

Oil spill unlikely in Mobile Bay
Because of Mobile Bay's depth, giant oil tankers can't come up
to the ship channel, making the possibility of an oil spill on the
scale of the Alaskan spill unlikely in the bay, according to the U.S.
Coast Guard.
The worst oil spill In the bay would probably amount to only a
tenth of the oil that spilled in Alaska, said Capt. William Loefstedt,
who is in charge of the Coast Guard's Marine Safety Office In
Mobile.
The soft, muddy bottom of the bay also contributes to the safety
of the ships because there are no rocks or reefs for oil barges to
strike.

upset over
jparking rule
By Wade Williams
3ech Editor
; Parking rules and regulations
are still causing confusion and
frustration for some, according
to John Grover, chairman of the
University Traffic and Parking
tommittee.
! Problems associated with
parking can often be caused by
a lack of student understand­ing,
or by the inability of the
Committee to implement its rec­ommendations,
Grover said.
The committee is made up of
faculty, staff and students and
acts in an advisory fashion to
the administration.
• "The University administration
often acts without the commit­tee's
approval and often does
not follow the committee's rec­ommendations,"
he said.
j The parking committee is
against eliminating the enforce-ment
of parking zones over the
breaks, Grover said.
; Although the regulation has
been in effect for at least two
years, problems occur because
students do not understand

Senate rejects library proposal
By Vickl Vessels
N"ews Editor
The University Senate voted to
send library circulation recom­mendations
back to the library
committee Tuesday.
Under the proposal by the
committee, faculty members
would be able to check out 200
books for 360 days.
Dr. Tom Cooper, building sci­ence
senator, provided the first
opposition to the proposal. He
said there are approximately
1.75 million volumes in the
library to be checked out and
1.59 million persons given
access to the library. "We are
authorizing clearing the build­ing,"
Cooper said.
Dr. Drew Clark, from the
English department, who also
serves as chairman of the
library committee, said all per­sons
with access checking out
books all at the same time is
unlikely to happen.
Another source of disagree­ment
is in the recall system.
With this system, if someone
were to need a book- that is
checked out, the library will
contact the one in possession of
the book who will have a week
to return the book to the
library.
"If I had wanted the informa­tion
a week later, I would have
waited a week," Cooper said.
Steve Schmidt, animal and
diary sciences senator, said he
may only need a book for five
minutes to look up something.
After some debate, the Senate
voted to keep the old system
which includes 60 books for 90
days until the committee
reviews the options once again.
Magnolia streets, Grover said.
Outside this area, parking zones
are not enforced during breaks.
"We emphatically believe
(parking zones) should be
enforced during breaks," he
said. 'The parking in (the core
campus) has never been intend­ed
to accommodate students.
"During those break periods,
the faculty and staff are still
under full employment. If the
students encroach, say during
registration periods, they are
effectively displacing employees.
There's a lot of discontent by
employees about that."
Although parking zone regula­tions
discontinue after 5 p.m.,
all standard parking regulations
are enforced 24 hours a day, he
said. For example, motorists
parking next to a fire hydrant or
parking where there Is no park­ing
space will be ticketed.
Grover said several new regu­lations
will go into effect includ­ing:
•Fines will begin to be tracked
by the University's central com­puter
system and will be paid at
the Bursar's office in the Quad
Center.
•Faculty and staff registration
will be handled by mail.
•The four-zone system will be
simplified into a three-zone sys­tem,
with the C-zone parking
eliminated. Graduate students
without an assistantship will be
classified with all undergradu­ates.
Graduate assistants will
qualify as University employees.
Candidate absent for talk show

"Even if I get a chance to

Card will fund scholarships
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
The SGA and t he Alumni
Association are working to
develop a University credit
card, the proceeds from which
will be placed in an endow­ment
fund for scholarships.
If the plan Is approved, the
SGA will receive $50 from the
Alumni Association for each
student who receives the card
and pays the annual fee of
$12, SGA President Cindy Hol­land
said.
"With this money we hope to
establish a scholarship fund
which will provide unrestricted
funds to deserving students,"
Holland said.
"By unrestricted, we mean
anyone is eligible to receive the
funds," she said. "Some schol­arships
are restricted to only
certain people, such as engi­neering
students from Okla­homa.
As a result many schol­arships
are not used."
The Alumni Association is
developing a contract based on
Holland's information and
some revisions from the Asso­ciation,
said Jerry Smith, exec­utive
director of the Alumni
Association.
approved by the Alumni Board
and signed by the SGA before
it can go into effect, Smith
said.
"It is just a matter of work­ing
out the details," Smith
said.
The money will go to Finan­cial
Aid, which now is finan­cially
restricted In funds, Hol­land
said.
The credit cards will be
available to all students, Hol­land
said. The cards will be
marketed all year long, begin­ning
at student orientation.

Auburn student, friends discover
adventure while exploring cave
By Michelle Marek
Assistant News Editor
An ordinary cave exploration
during spring break turned into
an adventure for a University
student.
The adventure began when
Michael Haskins, 01 PCHE, and
three of his friends decided to
explore a cave In Hartselle.
"We went into the cave at
about 7 p.m. with two flash­lights
and a lantern," Has kins-said.
"We brought along some
markers so we would be able to
find our way out"
However, when Haskins and
his friends tried to leave at
about 8:30 p.m.. they could not
find their markers.
At approximately 9 p.m. they
decided they were lost, b u t
decided to continue searching
for another hour, Haskins said.
"I was very hot because the
cave was 100 percent humid."
he continued. '-..•••
"We had all kinds of bad luck.
One of the flashlights went out.
and the second one was blink­ing.
'While we were searching for
a place to stay that night, I
tossed the lantern to my friend,
and he missed it. The lantern
fell down into a cavern and
broke, leaving us with one
blinking flashlight," he said.
At approximately 3 a.m. help
arrived in the form of three
men, two of which were more
than 60 years old, Haskins said.
When the group left the cave
and crossed a nearby field, they
were greeted by police and a
reporter from The Hunts ville
Times, Haskins said.
"One of my friends was sup­posed
to be home by 10 p.m.,
and when she didn't come
home, her parents called the
other parents," Haskins said.
"None of our parents knew
where we were."
>- After .fp_dl,j__:-thg parents,
the police found the group's car
by the cave.

The police were worried
because the caves are big, and
it is easy for people to get lost in
them, he said.
"It was really embarrassing,"
he said. "But I was really glad to
get out."
"While we were in the cave, I
was scared and my adrenaline
was flowing, but I j u s t had to
stop and realize it was just a
matter of time before anyone
came."

By Kitty Brown
iStaff Writer
I
I
William K. Walsh has been
[named the new department
jhead for the University's depart-tment
of textile engineering,
(according to Engineering Dean
iWilliam F. Walker.
. Walsh, whose appointment
[takes effect July 1, comes to
Auburn from North Carolina
'State University, where he has
taught and researched for the
past 28 years.
The overall reputation of the
University and the caliber of the
students attracted him to
Auburn, Walsh said.
'Textile engineering, in addi­tion
to having a first-class facul­ty,
is closest to the textile
industry and has the warmest
relationship with the students
of all the major textile groups in
the country," Walsh said.
Walsh replaced W. Ken Lynch,
who returned to teaching as a
professor in the textile engineer-
Minimum wage increase
could cause higher prices

Walsh
ing department. The acting head
of the department for the past
year has been Warren Perkins.
Walsh received a bachelor's
degree in chemical engineering
in 1954 at the University of
South Carolina and a doctorate
in chemical engineering from
North Carolina State In 1967.
He started working as a
chemical engineer with the
Celanese Corp. of America In
1959 and then joined N.C. State
as a research assistant in 1960.
In 1967. Walsh became an
assistant professor, in 1972 he
became an associate professor
and in 1977 a professor. He
became assistant dean for
research in 1980 and associate
dean for research and graduate
education in 1981.
A minimum wage Increase will
not affect the number of
employees businesses have, but
it will affect the prices of their
products, said local business
managers.
"If the minimum wage is
raised, I will probably have to
raise the prices of our food,"
said The Railing owner Dr.
Frank Mitchell.
Currently, the minimum wage
is set at $3.35 an hour, but the
House recently passed a bill
that would increase hourly
wages to $4.55.
If the minimum wage is
increased, Mitchell probably
would not cut the number of
employees, he said.
'We are barely able to get the
work done now with the amount
of employees we have," Mitchell
said.
Mitchell pays his employees
more than minimum wage, he
said.
"If they perform well, I try to
adjust their salary up to the $4
range," he said.
Franks manager Freddie Ogle-tree
agreed, 'We will just have to
raise our prices."
Students choose not to work
because of low pay, Ogletree
said.
"I hope it will make students
want to work. Right now we can
not find enough employees," he
said.
Franks has eight part-time
employees which are paid at
least $4 an hour, he said.
A minimum wage increase
will also affect the number of
customers, he said. "I think a
lot of people will stop eating out
because the prices will be too
high."
Some businesses would have
to cut the number of employees
to maintain a profit, store man­agers
said.
Brooks Fashion Store manag­er
Penny Statham employs
seven part-time workers. But
the number of employees would
be reduced if the minimum
wage is raised more than 50
cents, Statham said.
"I do not mind paying more
than minimum wage if the girls
are doing a good Job," she said.
Minimum wage should be
increased gradually, Statham
said. A 25-cent hourly Increase
would not affect the number of
employees or product prices.
If the hourly wage is raised to
$4.55, the number of workers
will be cut from seven to five,
Statham said.
"That means two girls would
lose a job," she said.
Brooks employee Yvette Man-asco,
03 CSW, relies on $3.65
an hour to pay for her books,
food and sorority dues.
"I think It needs to be raised.
No one can live on what I
make," Manasco said.
The hourly wage should be
increased because people who
receive welfare make more
money than some people who
work, she said. "That is not a
very comforting thought."

Phone drop and add has few problems
By Stephanie Reed
Staff Writer
Thanks to the new drop and
add system, the process has
become as easy as picking up
the telephone.
"This past quarter we let
juniors, seniors and graduate
students drop and add courses
by phone, and from what we
could tell, it was very success­ful,"
said John T. Fletcher Jr.,
associate registrar. 'We only had
a handful of problems with the
system."
The system was designed to
decrease the number of stu­dents
completing final registra­tion
at Haley Center. Although
no statistical data has been
received, Fletcher said the sys­tem
seems to have helped lower
the number of students partici­pating
in manual drop and add.
"I think the new system has
many advantages over the old
system, such as not having to
stand in lines," he said. "Stu­dents
can call from the comfort
of their room, home or even on
the beach, and it's easy to use.
"The main problem we had
with the system was that stu­dents
were calling in and hang­ing
up before they confirmed
their new classes. Because they
didn't do this, the computer
didn't make the corrections and
returned to their original sched­ule."
The system is also unable to
Incorporate extra seats issued
by different departments. "This
is why you can pick up a class
at Haley Center even though
when you used the phone drop
and add, the computer said the
class was full," he said.
By summer quarter every stu­dent
should have access to the
system, he said. "We're trying
this out then because we usual­ly
have only half the number of
students enrolled summer quar­ter,"
Fletcher said. "Fall quarter

Auburn puts
computer to
research use
By Kriste Goad
Staff Writer
The first state-funded super­computer
network in the coun­try
has been in successful oper­ation
in Alabama since Febru:
ary 1988, with an 80 percent
utilization rate, said Wendy L.
Dimond, spokesperson for the
supercomputer center in Hunts-ville.
Auburn is one of the ten node
sites for the Alabama Super­computer
Network, Dimond
said, allowing researchers, grad­uate
students and professors
direct access to the network's
mainframe in Huntsville.
Although the network is for
business and academla use, the
largest block is used for
academla, Dimond said.
In the months of November,
December and January, Auburn
was the most active node site in
terms of hours used, according
to Dr. Jim Newhouse, physical
chemist in charge of the node.
'We are at a level of about 70
percent to 80 percent utiliza­tion,"
Newhouse said. But uti­lization
time allotted by the
state is 60 percent.
Time is allotted on the basis
of a three-block system. New-house
said. The first block,
making up 30 percent of the
time, is granted to the Universi­ty,
10 hours at a time. This first
block allows those using the
Plainsman files
Professor Joe Tedesco, Preston McGill, 09 CE, work on materials research
computer to determine its value
to certain research.
The second block, also mak­ing
up 30 percent of the time,
requires researchers to submit
applications for further research
to a peer review committee
made up of members through­out
the state. Time is then allot­ted
on the basis of merit.
The third block, making up 40
percent of the time, is for com­mercial
use and funded
research. "This is where real
money is spent," Newhouse
said. Agencies pay $1,200 per
recorded hour for use of the
node while academic users
researching for agencies pay
$960 per hour, he said.
While use of the supercom­puter
is not limited, the largest
number of those using it are
graduate students and profes­sors,
Newhouse said.
Gaussian 86 is a computa­tional
chemistry program which
uses the supercomputer to com­pute
properties of molecules
and compute reactions without
having to do any work in the
lab, Newhouse said.
Mathematical equations,
involved in the Gaussian 86
program are extremely complex,
Michael L. McKee, professor of
chemistry, said. 'Without the

continued from A-l
Management Commission April
13.
In addition, the farm has
already fenced off the creek to
keep the cows from defecating
and urinating in the water. The
farm has also submitted a plan
to build lagoons around the
farm where the manure could
be stored and treated.
The Auburn City Council
unanimously approved a resolu­tion
March 7 requesting ADEM
not to extend the deadline or
reduce the requirements of the
farm to keep its livestock out of
Chewacla Creek.
"The customers of the city
who pay for water at such a
high rate, and in some
instances are not able to drink
it, deserve better," said Dr.
Robert Gastaldo, an Auburn
city council member and profes­sor
of geology.
"Citizens have always com­plained
about the water, and it
hurts the overall impression of
the city and the University
because visitors drink the water
and don't want to drink it
again," he said.
Rex Griffin, city engineer, said
the farm needs to take further
action to protect the environ­ment.
"It could get worse, before it
gets better," he said.
The Soil Conservation Service
is currently conducting a water­shed
management study to
identify the areas of the city
that need to be protected to
maintain safe water.
On April 10 the Auburn Water
Board will consider two propos­als
that would allow the Univer­sity
to conduct two further
studies.
The first study will be made to
reidentlfy the source of the pol­lution
In Auburn's water sup­ply,
and the other study would
be to determine how the water
could be adequately treated.
The city is monitoring the
water now, and in the event that
the water reaches a point where
the smell and taste are too
noticeable, then the city could
pump in additional water from
the city of Opelika to mix with
the water from Lake Ogle tree,
Griffin said.
The University receives about
a million gallons of water a day
from the city of Auburn. It's the
same the rest of the city
receives, and the University
does not have a separate treat­ment
plant.
Ethics
continued from A-l
"I'd like to say a lot, but I Just
don't think it would be appro­priate
for me to comment (on
the Commission's decision),"
Holmes said.
Assistant Attorney General
George Jones has said he will
review the case for possible legal
action. According to Fitzpatrick,
the attorney general's office can
take the case or refer It to a
local district attorney.
Blackburn focuses on evaluation of faculty skills, development
By Becky Jeffers
Assistant News Editor
Auburn's new Associate Vice
President for Academic Affairs
Jack E. Blackburn said he
plans to work closely with facul­ty
members to help improve
their teaching skills.
"I am real pleased to help with
any efforts that provide faculty
with opportunities for renewal
of their instructional capaci­ties."
he said.
"I think the whole area of fac­ulty
development and evalua­tion
is one of the most impor­tant
areas at Auburn," Black­burn
said. "Faculty (should)
have equal opportunity for pro­motion,
tenure and merit pay."
He said he will concentrate on
three areas of the University:
program development and eval­uation,
faculty development and
evaluation and student academ­ic
affairs.
As new programs are pro­posed
on campus, he will work
with the appropriate colleges to
develop programs and to moni­tor
their progress, he said. At
the same time, he plans to
review existing programs for
strengths, weaknesses and
areas of improvement, he said.
Program development and
evaluation also Includes looking
at University-wide studies for
accrediting agencies, such as
the Southern Association of Col­leges,
which will be reviewing
Auburn for reaccreditation in
the early, .1990s, Blackburn
said.
Being involved in faculty
development and evaluation
includes helping with a Univer­sity-
wide performance develop­ment
policy and procedures for
accessing faculty performance,
he said.
He will also help identify pro­grams
and projects for faculty
development such as programs
to help graduate teaching assis­tants
improve their teaching
skills, he said.
In the area of student aca­demic
affairs, Blackburn will
meet, with suspended students
applying for readmittance to the
University and help with the
academic honesty committee.

Donations fund expansion
Purchasing study carrels aids library,
allows students, faculty to leave mark
By Tawanda Shaw
Staff Writer
Students wanting to leave
their mark on the University
can do so by making a contri­bution
to Ralph Brown
Oraughon Library - a $1,000
or $5,000 contribution, that is.
The library's expansion and
renovation, scheduled for com­pletion
In spring 1990, is being
partially funded by donations
made for study carrels and
group study rooms. The car­rels
and rooms will be named
for the donator.
This project could provide
up to $425,000 for the library,
according to the Alumni and
Development Office. The study
carrels are available for $1,000
and group study rooms for
$5,000. This money is payable
over a five-year period.
John E. Dunkelberger, a
professor of agricultural eco­nomics
and rural sociology,
and other faculty members
have developed a departmental
plan for the naming of carrels.
The department has
amassed $2,000 in pledges
and plans to name two carrels,
he said.
"Several of us thought this
was a good way to show our
interest In the University
library," Dunkelberger said.
"This way, we can get some
recognition for the department
and take part in the library
project."
According to the Alumni and
Development Office, 34 of the
300 study carrels have been
claimed and $59,695 has been
pledged toward the project.
supercomputer, results are
often unreliable. It has been
very Instrumental In my
research," he said. "Because of
it, we're on the forefront In this
particular field of science."
The supercomputer operates
on the Unix system which many
other types of computers are
operating on or converging
toward, McKee said.
"I think it was a wise move to
that system." he said. 'We must
stay with the level available."
Five years from now the super­computer
will no longer be the
top computer. "I hope the state
keeps upgrading."
Newhouse said, "The network
Is certainly helping researchers
here at Auburn to do a better
Job." The network provides
availability and easy access to
the CRAY X-MP/24. the multi­processing
machine at the core
of the network, he said.
The Boeing Company was
chosen by the state to Imple­ment
and manage the network
in 1987. Acurex Corp. and Wyle
Laboratories, both of Huntsville,
were the first commercial users
of the network
Browder said Tuesday night
he wanted to bring the district
together after the bitter three-month
campaign.
Both Browder. the democratic
nominee, and GOP candidate
Rice relied heavily on negative
advertising and campaigning.
Browder called Rice "Hand
Grenade," implying that he
would be dangerous and unpre­dictable
In office, and GOP can­didate
Rice labeled Browder a
"Mike Dukakis liberal." "gutless"
and attempted to link him with
organized labor and gay rights.
Rice is a former Democrat
who switched to the Republican
ticket In October of last year.
After Rice conceded, Ed Hobbes,
Lee County spokesman for the
Browder campaign, said, "We
won't be seeing any more
switches from the party after
this."
However, Allen downplayed
this possibility. "Several legisla­tors
switched parties prior to
the last election, and they all
did fine," he said.
With Browder going to Wash­ington,
Gov. Guy Hunt must
appoint a secretary of state to
fill the remainder of Browder's
term, which ends in 1991. Allen
said Rice will remain In the Sen­ate,
where he has legislation
pending.
Hunt called the special elec­tion
In December, after Nichols,
an 11-term congressman and
University trustee, died of a
heart attack in Washington.
Before party primaries nar­rowed
the field to Browder and
Rice, 13 candidates had entered
the race for the vacant seat. The
Republican primary was easily
won, but Browder had to beat
Tuskeegee Mayor Johnny Ford
In a runoff to clinch the demo­cratic
nomination.
Drop
continued from A-5
is our expected date to really
have everyone using the sys­tem."
In addition to adding more
phone lines, the software for
this procedure is being updated,
Fletcher said.
"The ideal situation would be
for no one to have to come back
early for final registration,"
Fletcher said. "This will not be
possible because we will always
have students who are Just reg­istering
or returning to college."

Phones
continued from A-l
ber, resident numbers were
completely changed, he said.
This was done to make a per­manent
number assignment to
each room according to floor
and room sequence, he said.
The only exception to the
sequence are those rooms
whose residents requested extra
phones.
Residents must also use
authorization codes to make
long-distance calls. These codes
are specific to each room's
phone number to curb the pos­sibility
of the code being used
by the wrong person. Stone
said.
Another advantage to the
codes is that each resident will
receive a separate phone bill for
long-distance service, although
local service charges will be
placed on one person's bill.
Stone said.
A frustration with the new
system is collect calls, he said.
"Philosophically speaking, we
have tried to discourage collect
calls because it is so difficult to
do the bookkeeping," he said.
There is no problem with out­going
collect calls, "but the cri­sis
comes when people make
incoming calls because these
can't be captured by the billing
cycle," he said.
As a result the University is
given a detailed list of collect
calls at the end of each billing
cycle. These calls then have to
be manually billed to each resi­dent,
which creates more room
for error, Stone said.
"These sort of things keep the
pot boiling," he said.
From the standpoint of the
. administration, the frustrations
have been similar, but the
advantages probably seem more
focused, Stone said.
"The administrative user had
some problems that weren't
solved by the old system," he
said.
With the new system, groups
with multiple locations can now
get all phone calls at all loca­tions,
he said. Another alleviat­ed
problem is the long waiting
period for the Watts line that
was used in the old system for
long-distance calls.
However, the present system
has created the need for autho­rization
codes and forms to
ensure the call is billed correctly
and the system id not abused.
"It's a different set of trade­offs,"
he said. "And I believe the
problems are diminishing."
Stone expects the situation to
become calmer after a few
weeks' time when users are
more familiar with the system's
bugs, he said.
"Once we are over the initial
fright, we can approach special
features and correct any previ­ous
miscommunication con­cerning
the software," he said.
During the first days of ser­vice,
a serious bug within the
system was a number of busi­nesses
within the state were
unable to reach the University
at all, he said.
These "black out" areas were
created when certain phone sys­tems
in the Hoover and Vestavia
areas were not notified that the
prefix 844 existed.
This problem is compacted by
the fact that some of the 826
numbers have yet to be discon­nected,
according to Stone.
Within the first week another
problem arose when residents
overloaded the system with call­ing
cards. This was easily fixed
by giving the system access to a
greater number of operators.
'This was a new phenomena
to us. Since we provided a sepa­rate
long-distance service, we
didn't anticipate so many people
using calling cards," Stone said.

Such problems are inevitable
with the initiation of a project of
this size, Stone said.
"It's important to keep in
mind that the old system took
30 years getting here. We've
erected the whole new system in
15 to 16 months," he said.
The new system's capabilities
far surpass that of the old sys­tem,
according to Stone, but at
a cost.
The total cost for the system
was $7.6 million, Stone said.
The University borrowed the
money which is to be paid back
over a 10-year period.
"In the long run, with the
amount of intense swapping of
information, it is less expensive
to put in our own private sys­tem,"
he said.

We always knew
Auburn's water tasted
strange. That's a nice way
to put it. We didn't really
want to know why.
However, the source of
the foul tasting water came
to light in the press toward
the end of last quarter.
The problem is an over­abundance
of bacteria in
the water. The bacteria is
the result of cattle defecat­ing
and urinating in and
near Chewacla Creek which
feeds tatp~th£. city's .water
source, Lake Ogletree.
The University consumes
approximately one million
gallons of this water each
day.
Not to worry, though. The
strange taste causes no
immediate health problem,
according to the Ala­bama
. Department of
Environmental Manage­ment
(ADEM).
Meanwhile, moves toward
correcting the problem are
bogged down in red tape.
The ADEM had required
Ethics
There seemed to be a
general consensus among
some people close to the
investigation that the state
Ethics Commission review
of the Alumni Association
would be a "white wash."
However, events last week
proved them wrong.
An Auburn "delegation" of
the key players in the
investigation waited for the
results last Friday at the
Ethics Commission office
in Montgomery. .
that Willow Run Farms give
a waste management pro­posal
by March 30, but the
order was appealed. A
hearing will be held next
Thursday.
The City Council adopted
a resolution requesting that
the deadline not be extend­ed
and that requirements
of keeping the cattle out of
the creek be maintained.
Meanwhile, the creek has
been fenced to keep the
cattle out of the water.
The irony in the whole
situation is the cost of
water in Auburn, which is
among the highest in the
state.
There is a definite prob­lem
here, whether or not
the water is safe to drink.
We appreciate the work of
the City of Auburn and
hope they will continue to
ensure the problem Is erad­icated.
'It could get worse before
it gets better," said Auburn
City Engineer Rex Griffin.
Let's hope not.
For better or for worse,
they were glad the Investi­gation
was coming to a
close.
However, the Ethics Com­mission
voted 4-0 to turn
the matter over to a state
prosecutor.
So, it's not over, and here
we go into the next phase
of this seemingly endless
mess in the Alumni Associ­ation.
Let's all hope this
will finally be it.
Congratulations
It's been rare when sports
make It onto the editorial
board column this year.
However, there are two
events which have occurred
- one during break and one
last weekend - which war­rant
our attention and our
praise.
The Lady Tigers
We can't say enough for
the Lady Tigers completing
their'32-2 season with a
second consecutive trip to
the Final Four.
Although Tennessee
defeated Auburn 76-60 in
the championship game
Sunday, we couldn't be
prouder of the way the
Lady Tigers represented
the school and community.
This year the Lady Tigers
won their third straight
SEC title, made a second
consecutive Final- Four trip
and was ranked No. 1 in
the country for two months.
We wish them continued
success.
Goodbye to Sonny
Although we are happy
for Sonny Smith's opportu­nity
to make the change to
head coach at Virginia
Commonwealth University,
we are sad that he will be
leaving Auburn.
As head coach of the
Tigers, Smith compiled a
173-154 record which
Included five straight NCAA
Tournament appearances.
We wish him luck and
success at VCU. He will be
greatly missed.
Vote on a candidate, not a joke
Today, approximately 20 per­cent
of the student body will go
to the polls to elect their SGA
officers and other student lead­ers
for the upcoming year.
These will be the leaders who
represent Auburn at public
events and will determine the
agenda for the SGA
These are the leaders who will
stand up against the adminis­tration
for students' rights.
Despite what you may have
heard, this is important stuff.
Unfortunately, some of the can­didates
themselves don't think
so.
Let's take a look at some of
their qualifications and plat­forms
they cited in the
SGA/Jfafnsman election supple­ment
last Monday -
• Several candidates bragged
that they are Chefs Club mem­bers
and have C-zone parking
stickers.
• Two engineering senator
candidates were proud that they
can count to 8 by 2s and are
alive.
David
Sharp
• Another wants to make "fun-nelating'
and hackey sack Uni­versity
team sports.
• One particularly blunt can­didate
claims he would work to
"(insert meaningless B.S.)" if
elected.
• The most imaginative candi­date
claimed he Is an "arch sole
inspector" and "nasal hair trim­mer,"
as well as being a "fun
guy."
These bozos are among the
legitimate candidates being
voted on today.
But at least these guys sub­mitted
a platform. There were
many candidates who didn't feel
that submitting a platform was
important enough to worry
about. Many didn't even pass
their candidate's test - a
requirement to run for office.
It's onry an SGA election, after
all. Right?
Unfortunately, these candi­dates'
flippancy is a reflection
upon the students' perception of
the SGA in general. The apathy
on the part of the students has
produced complacent SGA
workers.
"It's like teaching a fifth grade
class," says SGA Administrative
Vice President Tony Godwin,
who presides over the SGA Cab­inet.
"You have to stand over
them and make them do every­thing."
Onry six students showed up
for Cabinet Monday night - two
were Godwin's roommates, and
two were on committees.
Ditto for the Senate. They
were unable to hold a meeting
Monday because they could not
make quorum, according to
SGA Vice President Mark Mur­phy,
who presides over the Sen­ate.
,
While Murphy and Godwin
are playing school marms •
rounding up their workers, the v
rest of the SGA Is usually out to {
recess. You won't find them in \
the office, anyway; you're lucky \
to get someone to answer the \
phone. }
There is an attitude that "as (
long as I do what the guy before J
me did. then I did my Job." .
This Is true. In the Senate, \
few of the 34 senators bother to i
learn the SGA Code of Laws \
published in the Tiger Cub. If \
there is a question, they just J
ask Murphy or SGA President »
Cindy Holland.
To be sure, there are hard-^
working students In the SGA
who care about students and
are a credit to the University.
However, they are too few and-far
between.
You can do your small part in •
changing this mediocrity by vot­ing
for candidates who are seri­ous
about serving you. \

Plainsman.
Good, bad news about weapons
Over spring break, I heard
some good news and some bad
news about two kinds of
weapons - guns and nuclear
weapons.
The good news Is some action
has finally been taken in the
area of gun restrictions.
A few weeks ago. President
George Bush banned the Import
of foreign-made semi-automatic
assault rifles. Perhaps this will
cut down on the murders com­mitted
with weapons like the
Russian-made AK-47 that, in
the hands of a madman/was
responsible for the death of
schoolchildren in Stockton,
Calif., In January.
More good news Is that the
American company, Colt, has,
for now, stopped selling its
Kirsten
Schlichting
semi-automatic rifles.
It's a shame that many inno­cent
people had to die before
any action was taken.
The bad news is that Iraq is
now developing surface-to-sur­face
nuclear weapons. This is
frightening because 4h«y will
probably use these weapons at
the slightest perceived provoca­tion.
They will kill others in the
blink of an eye and are willing
to even be killed themselves for
their cause. It seems these
fanatics will do anything for
their jihad or holy war, Includ­ing
using nuclear weapons.
The problem isn't with the
United States and Russia;
nowadays both are mostly cool-headed
and realize the severe
implications of using nuclear
weapons. Either Iraq doesn't
realize the implications or does­n't
care; probably the latter.
Bush said In effect that this is
none of the United States' con­cern,
but this couldn't be fur­ther
from theTSBthTWe are irre"
vocabry tied to the Middle East
through Israel and the Persian
Gulf, and we have many people
over there, including hostages.
Obviously this is our concern.
In addition, we should be con­cerned
about the effect on the
atmosphere if nuclear weapons
were used in a strike by Iraq on
another Middle Eastern coun­try.
Although It is far away from
us, what would it do to the
atmosphere? With the state It's
In now, it wouldn't help things
much.
If Iraq develops surface-to-surface,
how much longer will it
take them to develop long-range
surface-to-surface or air-to-sur­face
missiles?
The question is no longer
whether they are developing
nuclear weapons, but when
they will be successful.
And that's bad news.

Tips offered for fun in the sun
Spring has sprung and all
that jazz, and as always, the
Chewacla ritual lives on.
We're around 200 miles from
the nearest sand and surf so I
guess murky green waterfalls
on slimy rocks are better than
nothing. I'm not complaining,
though; it beats laying on the
asphalt at the trailer park, and
a little nature is better than
none.
Along with spring, sun and
Chewacla comes the dreaded
tanning ritual, so title this col­umn
"A Word to the Exhibition­ists"
(and other obnoxious peo­ple).
I went to the park last week­end
to hang out and lose some
winter quarter blues. What I
lost was my appetite. Perma­nently.
Girls: Please, for cryin' out
loud, put some clothes on. IVe
never seen so many naked peo­ple
In one place In my whole life
(except for House Party, which
is a whole other column entire­ly).
Bathing suits are fine. Saran
Dana
Roberts
wrap and rubber bands posing
as bathing suits are not.
And please, if your natural
skin tone falls between pasty
and alabaster, lay out in your
back yard for a few days before
going public with your bod all at
once. If you don't, the glare from
your skin can pierce the best of
the Ray Bans.
Game players: Frlsbee and
football are fun, but have some
manners. Flying objects come
from all directions, bash the
naked girls snoozing on their
towels and really mess up their
hair, you know? Seriously, It is
unnerving to know you could
get clocked at any minute by an
overthrown ball. If you're going
to play, learn to catch.
Bike riders: Mountain bikes
are great, but must you weave
an obstacle course amongst the
bodies on the field? There were
tire treads on my towel when I
left, and besides, the riders
sweat more than the tanners
and It's not attractive. .
Dog owners: I have a major
bone of contention here (no pun
intended). Take Rover to the
park for a frisk, but bring a
leash. I watched an unattended
puppy attack some poor boy
eating a piece of fried chicken.
The dog snagged the chicken
breast and ate the whole thing,
bones and all, in about 10 sec­onds.
Nobody seemed to be watch­ing
the pack of wild dogs roam­ing
the field, terrorizing picnick­ers
and leaving fresh piles In the
middle of this mass of people
running around barefooted.
Think about it.
Guys: Sunbritches and Jams
are out. So is wearing flip-flops
and gold chains, necklaces, etc.
while running around, cursing ,
loudly and eyeing the naked
girls snoozing on their towels. (A
hint: they're not really snoozing.
They're peeking at you looking
like a jerk.)
Also, throw your beer cans
away or take them with you. A
little nature is better than none,
and there's no reason the park
has to look like Jordan-Hare
after a big game.
Now that IVe pounded every­body
thoroughly, let me say I do
realize everybody just wants to
have fun. But you can have fun
without being naked and obnox­ious,
believe it or not.
So bring a frlsbee, bring some
friends and please, bring your
radio. Keep the public affection
at an absolute minimum
(another definite appetite killer
for the general public), leave the
Guns 'n Roses and your socks
at home. And have a blast

Letters
Quote of the week
"Citizens have always complained about the water, and It hurts the overall impression of the city
and the University because visitors drink the water and don't want to drink it again." - Robert
Gastaldo, Auburn City Council member and professor of geology
The week in history
10 years ago, 1979: Students waited in line to buy tickets to see former Auburn student Jimmy
Buffet at Memorial Coliseum. Tickets were available for $7.50.
25 yean ago, 1964: The Plainsman reported a "mass cheating wave" which had overtaken the
campus during winter quarter finals. Examinations were obtained from trash containers in the
offices and halls of the instructors' offices. Police were attempting to locate the stolen trash contain­ers.
50 years ago, 1939: The Omega Circle of Omicron Delta Kappa, a national honorary leadership
fraternity, announced 12 new members. The names of the new men were posted on the main gate of
the University.
Also this week, Olin L. Hill Men's Shop advertised Palm Beach suits for a steal - only a mere
$16.75.
KAPsi to receive fair trial
Editor, The Plainsman:
In the March 9 edition of The
Plttinsman, an article was writ­ten
regarding the Interfraternity
Council's decision to postpone a
ruling in the hazing case of the
Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. We
felt the need to write a letter
regarding the case.
Please note that this is not a
refutation of the article; rather,
this is meant to serve as assur­ance
that due process has been
and will continue to be exer­cised.
First, since judgement has not

Protest against Lorenzo
$ditor. The Plainsman:
l
» As students, we have a crucial
stake in the outcome of the cur-ifcnt
struggle between the Inter-
• national Association of Machin­ists
and Frank Lorenzo, head of
pastern Airlines. This struggle
represents more than a mere
cpnfllct over $150 million in pay
cjuts to 8,500 workers by their riployer; at stake, ultimately,
our society's commitment for
Justice.
I
(When Reagan busted the Air
„Traffic Controller's (PATCO)
strike in 1981, he set a tone of
union repression which persist­ed
throughout his two terms in
' ofalce.
By not intervening to appoint
an emergency mediation board,
•George Bush has tried to make
it clear that he will not be "bul­lied"
by organized labor. On the
other hand, he is apparently
" willing to pander to the destruc­tive
greed of capitalists such as
Frank Lorenzo.
' It is clear that Lorenzo is
determined to allow Eastern to
go bankrupt so that he can bust
the union once and for all. He
successfully used this tactic five
years ago In the case of Conti­nental
Airlines. Since purchas­ing
Eastern two years ago, he
has set out to systematically
weaken and undermine unions
at Eastern.
Although unions are largely
responsible for shortening the
American laborer's work day,
instituting workplace safety
standards and ending child
labor, their Importance is more
profound than these key
Improvements in living stan­dards.
For if Lorenzo can obliterate
thousands of jobs in pursuit of
greater profits and an increased
market share, the concept of
rule by and for the people is
meaningless. If our government
corroborates by refusing to pro­tect
union rights, there are no
"checks and balances" on the
power of corporate chiefs.
We see again that our Ameri­can
version of democracy is
sorely lacking because of its
refusal to address the lack of
popular control in the economic
sphere.
As university students, we
face ever-narrower options for
our post-college working lives.
While we may study ethics, his­tory
and politics, we face a sys­tem
which will not allow us to
use these intellectual skills -
where we will be reduced to
cogs in a corporate wheel.
By supporting the machinists
in their struggle against Eastern
and by supporting University
staff in their staff in their strug­gle
for justice at work, we regis­ter
our protest against a system
where the greed of the few can
dictate hardship for many.
Don't fly Eastern or Continen­tal
Airlines. Find out from your
local Machinist's lodge what else
you can do to help. Support
Socialism. Do it for the Machin­ists
and do it for yourself.

Elections have lost dignity
Editor, The Plainsman:
Now IVe seen it all. After hav­ing
been at Auburn for four
years and witnessing countless
acts of frivolity by the students
and administration of my
beloved institution, the 1989
SGA elections have taken the
cake.
Sunday night, while attempt­ing
some very serious studying
at Uncle Ralph's (Ralph Draugh-on
Library), I was assailed by
candidates for election to those
most important of positions.
Miss Auburn and SGA Presi­dent
While I normally Ignore the
elections to such benign offices,
It was impossible to do so this
time. The candidates, cheerily
spouting such serious and plat­form-
related phrases as "Hey,
my name Is Muffin - if you don't
already have a candidate for
Miss Auburn, I'd like your sup­port,"
barged into the library to
elicit my vote. They failed to get
it.
Do they think I came to the
library to enjoy myself? If so,
they are even more superficial
than they seem. While I am not
at all opposed to campaigns -
even those using such inane
practices as Ferrari-touring on
the concourse - I feel this is
exceptionally rude and intru­sive.
Further, they should be
regulated as to time, place and
manner much the same as pub­lic
speeches are limited to the'
"open air forum." .
In all fairness, I should point
Out this letter is a result of the -
actions of a few of the particu- J
larly obnoxious. Many of the ;
candidates through the years
have displayed restraint, and it
Is a shame that irresponsibility
on the part of some should •
result in the rise of apathy j
toward the system in general. \
However, perhaps some regu- i
lation would alleviate this prob­lem,
thereby restoring dignity to
the process and minimizing the
apathy which seems to have •
resulted from the practices of j
the more sensationalist candi- \
dates.

Athletes' conduct 'appalling'
Editor, The Plainsman:
I was witness to an appalling
scene one weekend last quarter
at a local establishment. Several
of the University's football play­ers,
who made their presence
more than noticeable at the bar,
put on a demonstration of rau­cous
behavior that Is extremely
unbecoming of any educated
human being, much less of sup­posed
student/athletes.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but
spitting tobacco onto the floor
while playing pool doesn't quite
make the list of socially accept­able
behavior. It was embarrass­ing
to see "SEC Champions" on
their shirts.
I am not Indicting the entire
football team because these
individuals are exceptions.
As a former student/athlete, I
am well aware public perception
to an athlete's character. I don't
need to remind anyone about
the incident two years ago
involving an Auburn quarter­back
that drew media attention.
In the past few years, tar­nished
reputations from wrong­doings
have been commonplace
in the NCAA, and the conse­quences
of such behavior have
been a detriment to both the
individuals involved and the
school.
Although this is not a matter
of national concern, behavior by
Auburn athletes in public does
reflect upon me, the school and
all of the students in the admin­istration,
especially when wear­ing
team paraphernalia as the
above mentioned players were.
Perhaps the coaching staff
should impress upon the play­ers
of this school the standards
of excellence that each athlete is
responsible for upholding, both
on and off the playing field.

Tenure
continued from A-l
I If the committee recommends
the Individual for tenure, anoth­er
recommendation is then
required by the college or school
committee before the faculty
member is considered by the
Tenure and Promotion Commit­tee.
The Committee discusses
each case individually, but can­didates
rarely appear before the
committee, and a secret ballot is
taken. Recommendations are
then forwarded to President
James Martin for final approval.
Letters of recommendation or
disapproval can come from any
level.
• If a faculty member is turned
down for tenure, he or she may
appeal within 14 calender days
of the date of receipt of denial.
"If they feel like there was new
evidence that was not there,
they can appeal on those
grounds," Henry said.
Appeals can also be made on
the basis of procedural irregu­larities
concerning advisement
and periodic review or if the
procedures were not followed
correctly by the department,
school, college or University.
If after six years of full-time
service a person does not
receive tenure, he or she is
given one year's notice before
they are expected to leave the
University.
De facto tenure - automatic
tenure - is also granted by Mar­tin
when notice of denial has
not been given after seven years
of full-time service. This does
not happen frequently but has
happened In the past when the
system was not as good, Henry
said.
Not all University personnel
agree about the processes'
degree of effectiveness.
Acting Dean of the College of
Business Bob Neibuhr said he
favors tenure but does not
believe it is necessary as a
means of encouraging hard
work. "You can motivate peo­ple
and encourage their partici­pation
in the system with or
without tenure," he said. How­ever,
"given Auburn's situation,
...particularly with a young Col­lege
of Business, it's probably
helpful to have a tenure sys­tem."
It is easier to attract Junior
members to fit into non-tenured
positions, Neibuhr said.
'The tehure process has some
advantages and disadvantages.
Its purpose is to encourage fac­ulty
to work toward tenure,"
Neibuhr said.
However, according to one fac­ulty
member who did not
receive tenure this year, the
three areas of research, publica­tion
and extension are not
weighed equally. Research is the
major emphasis, but no one has
set guidelines establishing how
much research is enough.
Junior faculty members are
not always appropriately pre­pared,
a fault of the applicant
as well as his or her tenured
colleagues, said the same facul­ty
member, who asked not to be
named.
The system could be further
improved if departments and
deans were more objective in
their decisions and administra­tors
were more specific, accord­ing
to the faculty member
"There does need to be a better
understanding of different fac­ulty
member's roles and what
they are expected to do." the
HH *u UM MM
faculty member said.
Also, faculty members should
be told before they are consid­ered
for tenure if they are not
performing as expected, the fac­ulty
member said.
James Williams, head of the
aerospace engineering depart­ment,
helped revise the tenure
policy in 1984 as a committee
member.
Williams said he feels
Auburn's tenure system is a
good one that compares favor­ably
with other universities.
"I don't see any problems with
it," he said. "It just depends on
the way the committee inter­prets
the (faculty) handbook."
Neibuhr explained the benefit
of tenure to the faculty member
as a means of job security. Once
a faculty member is tenured, he
or she has the freedom to con­tinue
research without con­straints
of the administration,
he said.
'Jim Wall, head of the mathe­matics
department, is also
pleased with the research free­dom
provided to tenured faculty
under the present system, he
said.
"I think tenure is an excellent
idea. It does protect an educa­tor's
right to speak out on aca­demic
issues without fear of
reprisals," he said.
Neibuhr said the University

between its tenure system
and the possibility of creating
lazy educators.
The University's merit-based
pay system is designed to mini­mize
abuses of the tenure sys­tem
and promote continued
study by tenured faculty mem­bers,
he said. "A good perfor­mance
evaluation after tenure
affects their pay," Neibuhr said.
However, Neibuhr admitted
the system is not fool-proof;
tenured faculty may not work as
hard on outside research as
before, he said. "If they're not
concerned with salary, then it's
awfully hard to fire someone In

As a result of this, Davis said

Campaigns bring worst politics, best jokes
I* By Delee Hole
Staff Writer
B essie won outright.
In 1975, Bessie the
cow was elected
Auburn's Homecoming Queen
!• over four other candidates.
Human candidates, that Is.
This is Just one of the many
I stunts pulled every year during
Auburn's student elections.
Some candidates use cam­paign
gimmicks to entertain
s* students while others find it a
way to gain votes.
Last year two candidates run­ning
for Liberal Arts senator ran
under the party name Motley
Two.
The two students, Paul
^DeMarco, 03 LJM, and Butch
Parsons, 03 GSC, wore cos­tumes
to attract attention.
DeMarco wore a large, black
curly wig and sunglasses, while
Parsons wore a rubber mask
with a large toothy-faced grin.
"We were just trying to get
the attention cf the voters since
there were 12 candidates run­ning
for five positions," DeMarco
said.
Not only did they gain the vot­ers
attention, but the Auburn
University Police Department's
as well.
On the second day of cam­paigning
the two were passing
out brochures in front of Haley
Center when the University
Police stopped the two because
of complaints from a professor.
The gimmicks only half
worked though, because
DeMarco won, but Parsons lost.
While some gimmicks do
work, others have not even
made it to the elections. Several
years ago, one candidate want­ed
to use a bull as part of his
campaign logo, said Dr. Pat
Barnes, vice president of Stu­dent
Affairs.
On the first day of elections,
though, the Student Govern­ment
Association's Election
Board ruled that his logo looked
too similar to the logo of the
investment company, Merrill
Lynch, and barred him from
using his design.
That afternoon every one of
the candidates' campaign mate­rials
had to be redesigned and
printed.
Last year, one candidate sim­ply
dropped out of the race
because of his gimmick. The
candidate for Business School
Senator, Frank Crafts, 04 AC,
was eagerly awaiting the return
of his campaign materials from
the printers. The slogan he
developed, Bank on Frank, fea­tured
a $3 bill with a photo of
Craft's face in the center.
He had a thousand printed up
and ready to distribute when a
friend remarked, "Oh, Frank,
queer as a $3 bill?"
Before throwing away the $3
bills, he dropped out of the race.
Campaigns can cause more
trouble than laughs sometimes.
"Several years ago a candidate
running for vice president was
digging a hole for the post of his
billboard when he cut a major
telephone cable leaving a fourth
of Auburn without telephone
services," said Grant Davis,
assistant dean of students.
Another factor of campaigns
is thinking of catchy party slo­gans.
Lex Sheehan was running for
off-campus senator. To gain the
edge and be remembered, Shee­han
wanted to use the slogan.
Lex "Sex" Sheehan, according to
Debbie Shaw, Panhellenic advi­sor.
His suggestion was denied by
Elections Board, and even
though he could not use his
party name, many others have
been able to. Several other party
names included Bo for the Heis-man.
The Late Night Party, I
Love to Party party and The
Gumby Party.
Besides approving party
names, the Elections Board
approves all campaign rules and
gimmick ideas. One new rule
bans animals from the con­course.
One year a candidate
requested permission to bring a
cow onto the concourse.
The Elections Board denied
his request because of the
manure that would be left
behind. "One guy still wanted to
know if he could use a cow on
the concourse as long as he
promised to have somebody
walk behind the cow with a
pooper scooper," said Shaw.
"The request was still denied."
The Elections Board encour
ages the candidates to be cre­ative
with their campaigns. One
candidate asked permission to
flash the subliminal message.
"Vote for Me," on the screen
during the cartoon that is
played before the free movie at
Langdon Hall.
His request was approved, bui
he never followed through with
his plans.

Vegetarian diet nutritious, inexpensive but requires time
By Piper Lowell
Assistant Features Editor
I, t's cheaper to take a vegetar­ian
to dihner,'the joke goes.
You can go inside and eat
while your date grazes on the
front lawn.
But it's possible the vegetari­an
will still be playing tennis at
age 65 while the meat-eater suf­fers
from high cholesterol and
extra pounds. Or maybe not.
Auburn dieticians and food
scientists say it doesn't matter.
A conscientious meat eater is as
healthy as a conscientious vege­tarian.
Sensible eating is the key to
better health, not so much the
type of diet, according to Carol
Dillard, registered dietician at
Drake Student Health Center.
There are two types of vege­tarian
diets. One is ovalacto
vegetarianism in which eggs,
milk and other animal products
are still on the menu. The other
is strict vegetarianism in which
animal products as well as flesh
are off the menu.
Vegetarianism was a popular
diet in the late '60s and early
'70s but fizzled out along with
other earthy attitudes of the
time. It is making a comeback
with a strong following on the
East and West Coasts.
-"-Howeveiv the diet is spreading
faster than information about
its possible problems.
"A vegetarian who is not
knowledgeable of nutrition
could overdo (the diet) to the
point of doing it wrong," Dillard
says.
The main problem is protein
intake, because many vegetari­an
proteins are not effective on
their own. They need to be com­bined
with other vegetable pro­teins
to be complete.
Complete proteins are certain
protein combinations that are
needed for energy, muscle
growth and cell maintenance.
They are In meat, fish, poultry,
eggs and milk.
Lack of complete protein can
cause fatigue, weight loss and,
in extreme cases, muscle tissue
breakdown.
Diet problems strike children
the hardest, Jean Olds, assis­tant
professor of food science,
says. They might suffer stunted
growth or anemia without a full
range of proteins.
Complete proteins are easy to
come by, but they require more
meal planning and effort, she
says.
Main sources include grains,
cereals and nuts along with
legumes (any kind of pea or
bean), eggs, milk and cheese.
Complete protein combinations
are in peasant diets of rice or
corn with peas and beans.
Once protein problems are
conquered, there is a range of
advantages to a no-meat diet.
The vegetarian increases fiber,
cuts down on fats and eats a
more nutrient-packed protein
source, says Olds. "Also, you
can eat one candy bar or six
plates of vegetables and fruit,"
she adds.
A vegetarian or low-meat diet
is also good for people with
weight problems or high blood
pressure.
Cost is consideration not to be
overlooked. From a tour
through a local Auburn grocery
store, eggs, which are one of the
best protein sources around,
also come in at the bottom of
the price list.
Chicken breast and cottage
cheese are other good complete
protein sources. They cost
$3.99 per pound and $1.28 per
pound, respectively.
Dinah Baskett, manager of
i Dayspring -Natural Grocery,
says a vegetarian diet is more
than a precaution against
future health problems. She
says It's a healer.
Baskett has lupus, an incur­able
disease that stiffens the
body's connective tissue. Five
years ago, she weighed 80
pounds and was in pain when
she moved. "I was checking out,
going to die," she says.
- Already an ovalacto vegetari­an,
she switched to a strict veg­etarian
diet. Because of the
switch, she went from being
unable to cook a meal to walk­ing
the dog in two weeks, she
says.
It took three years to regain
her energy, says (he still slim
Baskett. But she Is alive, anci
she attributes that to her diet.
An Auburn general practltion
er (who refused to be namedj
says that he knows of no evi­dence
of diet being used to help
lupus, nor does he recommend
a vegetarian diet for any illness.
However, the doctor was not
Baskett's doctor and knows
nothing of her case.
Time, health reverts veggies
By Piper Lowell
Assistant Features Editor
While vegetarianism is
the dietary road-less-taken,
it isn't the road
of no return. Many vegetarians
find problems along the way
that makes them return to a
meat-eating menu.
Lack of time made Rod Pop-well,
